Part 1
INFO AND TIPS
This section of the project uses special techniques such as crocheting into the sides of
stitches, crocheting pieces together, crocheting into a slip stitch, working in FLO/BLO, and
using a RSM. Refer to the supplemental videos for detailed directions.
Chains and slip stitches do not count as stitches. Do not work into them and do not include
them when counting your stitches, unless directed.
When you work into a stitch that has been marked, always remove the marker unless
directed.
For easy reference, use markers in the same colors as you see in the photos. In total, there
are 2 pink, 2 purple, 2 blue, and 2 green markers used.

GAUGE
Gauge is very important for this model! If you crochet too tightly, it may be difficult or
impossible to flip your model inside out. Follow the gauge pattern below to make a 3D
swatch to confirm your tension. Use 1 strand of Honey Bunny combined with 1 strand of
Friends Cotton (crocheting with both strands together at the same time), and your 6 mm
hook.

R1: 6SC in MR.

Continue WITR and use a RSM.
R2: SC-inc X 6. (12)
R3: *1SC, SC-inc* X 6. (18)
R4-8: 18SC. (18)
Finished size: 9 cm W X 7.5 cm H / 3.5” W X 3” H

The gauge pattern produces a 3D dome. Flatten it so the opening becomes a slit, then
measure it from side to side and from top to bottom. Your swatch should be 9 cm across X
7.5 cm tall / 3.5” X 3”. If it’s smaller, remake the swatch with looser tension until the size is
correct, then use that tension throughout your project. It is also an option to switch to a
larger hook.

MOUTH
TOP JAW
Make 2.
Work with colors A+B and a 6 mm hook.
R1: 6SC in MR. Do not weave in the starting thread until directed. (6)

Do not tie off.

Edge of the Top Jaw (Top Lip)

R1: Ch1. Mark the 1st and last SC of this row as you work them (for easy reference, use a
different color to the markers on R4). Starting in the last DC of R4 and working in SOS, 2SC
per row for 3 rows. 1SS into the next row. 1SS into the MR. 1SS into the next row. 2SC per row
for the next 2 rows. [2SC, 1SS] into the last row. The piece is RS up. (15)

Tie off. Weave in the starting thread at the MR.

Make the second top jaw, but do not tie off at the end (note the use of different colored
markers to the first top jaw). Weave in the starting thread at the MR, then proceed with
joining the two as directed below.

JOINING THE TOP JAWS

Continued from R1 of the second top jaw.
R1: Stack the pieces WS together, with the newest piece at the bottom. Working into the edge
row of both pieces simultaneously, starting in the 1st st of the top piece and the
corresponding st on the bottom piece, 6SC, 3SS, 5SC, [1SC, 1SS] to join them. (15)

Tie off. Knot the loose ends of color B together.

Edge of the Bottom Jaw (Bottom Lip)

R1: Ch1. Starting in the last DC of R4 and working in SOS, 2SC per row for 3 rows. 1SC into the
next row. Skip the MR. 1SC into the next row. 2SC per row for the next 2 rows. [2SC, 1SS] into
the last row. The piece is RS up. (14)

Do not tie off. Weave in the starting thread at the MR.

HEAD, BODY AND TAIL

HEAD
Continued from R4 of the bottom jaw.
R1: This row will finish joining the top jaw pieces together like a sandwich, and attach them to
the bottom jaw. Remove the markers as you reach them. Sandwich all the loose ends inside
the top jaw pieces as you join them.

Flip the bottom jaw so the last row you worked is WS up. Flip the top jaws so that the joining
row is WS up. This is the RS of the top jaw. Starting in the marked sts of R4 on the top jaws
and working into both top jaws simultaneously, 17SC. Starting in the 1st DC on R4 of the
bottom jaw, 15SC. (32)

INFO AND TIPS
Refer to the supplemental videos for detailed directions on how to change colors during the
colorwork in this section.

MOUTH
Begin with colors C+D and a 6 mm hook.
Remove the markers on R2 of Gumdrop’s head as you reach them (the pink markers
pictured below).
R1: Mark the 1st SC, the 27th SC and the last SC on this row in FLO as you work them,
and do not remove these markers until directed. Flip Gumdrop’s body inside-out. Return
to R2 of the head where the BLO remains unworked. Join with a SS in the 1st marked st (near
the top jaw), with the tip of your hook pointing away from Gumdrop’s tail. Tuck Gumdrop’s
jaws inside the head. Ch1, 32SC (finish in the last marked st). Join with a SS in the 1st st. (32)

R2: Ch1, 32BLO-SC. Join with a SS in the 1st st. (32)

Tie off.

Underwater Tails | No. 1356-241-2958 | © Hobbii 2024 | 12

HEAD
Begin with colors C+D and a 6 mm hook.
R1: Remove the markers as you reach them. Work into the rem loops on R1 of Juju’s
mouth. Join with a SS in the 27th marked st, with the tip of your hook pointing towards
Gumdrop’s tail. Ch1, 32SC. (32)
Continue WITR and use a RSM.

During the following rounds, you’ll create a color pattern of dots and dashes alternating
between colors C+D and colors E+F. For easy reading, C+D will be referred to as “pink” and
E+F will be referred to as “white” in the following directions.

● Each round of colorwork is represented by a diagram in the instructions below.

● Each square block in a diagram represents 1 stitch.
● Whenever several pink sts come before the start of a color pattern, their number is
represented before the first square of the diagram. The same applies for pink sts
worked after the end of a color pattern, illustrated after the last square of the
diagram.
● After working a color pattern, finish the round with pink. Continue with pink up to the
next color pattern.
● The color distribution is also written out in text below each diagram.

TIP: Do not carry the yarn along by crocheting over it every time you change color; simply drop the
old color and pick it up again when you need it. Only carry the yarn along by crocheting over it
when specifically directed. After your last white st in a round, crochet your next 2 pink sts over the
white yarns to secure them, then drop the white yarns.

Example: For R2, work 8SC, SC-inc (10 sts in total).

Then alternate 1 white and 1 pink SC across the next 16 sts. As you go, drop the old color every
time you pick up the new color. After the last white st, work your next 2 pink sts over the white
yarns to secure them.
When the color pattern portion of R2 is complete, continue with pink up to the next color pattern,
in R4.

R2: 8SC, SC-inc, 16SC, SC-inc, 6SC. (34)

8SC, SC-inc SC-inc, 6SC

Color distribution for R2: After pink sts, alt *1 white, 1 pink* X 8. Once the color pattern is
complete, remember to crochet over the white yarns for 2 sts before dropping them.
Remember to finish all rounds with pink after a color pattern is complete and continue with
pink up to the next color pattern.

R3: Remember to continue with pink up to the next color pattern. 9SC, SC-inc, 17SC, SC-inc,
6SC. You can now fold your work back, onto Gumdrop’s head, flipping the sts of this round RS
up. (36)

For the next round, when you need to change to white, simply pick up white and draw it
across the body to your hook, leaving the strands laying loosely across the body’s WS. Don’t
create any tension on these strands, to prevent them from pulling on the body. For your first
white stitch, crochet over the strands to secure them. Apply this every time you work a long
white portion.
